Gamezebo said "Monty Python's Cow Tossing often feels more like a game of chance than it does a game in the traditional sense"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamezebo.com/2011/02/08/monty-pythons-cow-tossing-review/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing Review - Gamezebo|work=Gamezebo|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, while Pocket Gamer UK wrote "Monty Python's Cow Tossing is a mediocre physics puzzle game that earns more points for style than substance".<ref>http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Multiformat/Monty+Python%2527s+Cow+Tossing/review.asp?c=27528</ref> 148apps said As a Monty Python fan, I am disappointed with the lazy and unimaginative way this game has used the classic comedy troupe's work. As an iOS gamer, I am disappointed with the obvious, blatant copycatting of Angry Birds. This is nothing more than a licensed-name cash grab, and you should avoid it at all costs<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.148apps.com/reviews/monty-pythons-cow-tossing-review/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing Review » 148Apps » iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch App Reviews and News|work=148Apps|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, while Touch Arcade wrote "All in all, Monty Python's Cow Tossing is full of wasted potential".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toucharcade.com/2011/02/03/monty-pythons-cow-tossing/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing Review - Touch Arcade|publisher=|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref> Gamereactor Sweden wrote "To throw cows on invading brits might seems like an excellent idea for a game. And it is. But Monty Python's Cow Tossing is unfortunetly nothing more than a really bad copy of Angry Birds and total waste of what actually could have been fun"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamereactor.se/recensioner/26025/Monty+Python%27s+Cow+Tossing/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing|work=Gamereactor Sverige|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, and AppGamer said " It's a wasted opportunity and doesn't do anything for the Monty Python name".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://appgamer.net/reviews/2011/feb/4/monty-pythons-cow-tossing|title=AppGamer.net - Monty Python's Cow Tossing|publisher=|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>
KnowYourMobile wrote "It’s undeniably Python through and through, however, and as irksome as the catapult mechanics can be, it’s good to see a developer attempting to evolve this current gaming fad rather than blindly recreate it. It might turn out to be an experiment that proves the style to be less effective than the one seen in Angry Birds, but if you’re up for a critical accuracy challenge, Monty Python's Cow Tossing will certainly deliver it"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.knowyourmobile.com/games/12270/monty-pythons-cow-tossing-review|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing review|work=Know Your Mobile|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, and iCulture argued "Any good game sooner or later gets imitated, even by known parties who have enough budget to invent".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iculture.nl/apps/monty-pythons-cow-tossing-nieuwe-iphone-game-is-kloon-van-angry-birds/|title=Monty Python’s Cow Tossing: nieuwe iPhone-game is kloon van Angry Birds|work=iCulture|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref> In a rare positive review, What's On IPhone wrote "I’m a Python fan and for a dollar, this game is cute, funny and worth the cost.
